    As opposed to now where it’s used to blow Earthly Star.

    More like smash the crazy prepull shields you have unless you're running dbl WHM (or two healers that play 100% reactive). Absolute Zero aside they're unfortunately not strong enough to delete a party without any shields/ mitigation even at min ilvl so unless they're quickly followed by another set of aoes (like on e6s or e9s) they're not even neccessary. On some bosses you could just eat it raw and ticked back to full for the next aoe, e7s was escpecially guilty of this.
